You could complain that hip-hop producer 14KT's 2013 effort has a split personality, but Nickel & Dimed is an interestingly structured effort, coming off as an instrumental beat album with a vocal EP at the end.
14KT laces together 14 instrumentals + 1 song with an incomparable ear for flipping samples, and his signature boom-bap, off-kilter drum programming and spacey synths. Then he enlists a handful of his favorite artists for a vocal encore (including Blu, Roc Marciano, JMSN, Black Milk and MED) + appearances by Detroit's own JMSN on the summer cruiser Slo Swerve (also featuring Jamall Bufford) and Cali's Kokane (along with MED) on the new west coast anthem "W.C.E.F." 14KT even steps up to the microphone himself on "Five & Ten" to paint a picture of his take on the phrase, “Nickel and dimed."
14KT thanks "I personally want to say THANK YOU to all of the countless individuals who recognize, utilize, and give their GOD-given talents, purposes, skills, and wisdom EVERYDAY, so individuals such as myself, can continue to dream, create, and progress."
MMG Thanks: Our God, Our Parents, Our Families, Our Friends, Our Fans.
Special Thanks: Kendall Tucker, Jeff Klein, Joe Dent, Corey Sheridan, J. Kim, Injung Huh.
